@heresyfinancial: Ever wondered how banks really operate? It might surprise you to learn that when you deposit your money, the bank doesn't just stash it away. 🏦 Instead, they use it to purchase assets, often in the form of debt. So, when you and others want to withdraw funds, your money might not be readily available because it's been put to work. 📊 Banks keep only a fraction of the deposits on hand to meet withdrawal demands, and this practice is known as "fractional reserve banking." 📈 Uncover the inner workings of banks and how they manage your hard-earned dollars! #BankingExplained #FinanceInsights 🤑🔍
